PlayStation 6's Delay, Xbox's Future, and Steam Machine's Threat | Sacred Symbols+, Episode 505

It's me, Colin. Please welcome LSM tech analyst, friend-of-the-show, YouTuber, and podcaster Moore's Law Is Dead (aka Tom) back to Sacred+. Today, we convene (as we always do when we gather) to talk about hardware, and there's a whole lot to touch on. For starters, rumors rum amok about PS6, a device Sony hasn't announced yet, but one we know is coming. There are questions, though. When should we expect it? Will it be delayed? How much will it cost? If Tom's right, you'll still see it next fall at a surprisingly cheap pricepoint. We also get into the questionable future of Xbox with its upcoming Magnus PC (which sounds quite expensive), and focus-in on Sony's true threat as we move into the next generation: Valve and its Steam Machine, which will likely launch in the coming months. Thing is, it'll be weaker than the PlayStation 5, not to mention PlayStation 6. And Valve doesn't have access to anywhere close to the economies of scale that Sony does. Will it matter? Let's get into it! Please Note: This episode was recorded days prior to Microsoft's reveal of Xbox's Project Helix.
